Floral Compotes!

A compote (or comport) is a stemmed bowl used to serve the fruit dessert "compote".  As with everything else, florists have co-opted this vessel for the creation of beautiful floral designs!

Here are some of the milk glass compotes in my collection.

A group of like-minded floral friends,  "Chapel Designers", decided that we would all express our personal style in a synchronized posting around this timeless vessel.

Here are some of the designs that I created in the style.

A classic arrangement of peony, azalea, anemone, french tulips, confederate jasmine, seeded eucalyptus, and blueberry in milk glass.

I used an aged bronze container to hold a lush arrangement of spray roses, spirea, hypericum, dusty miller, confederate jasmine, and hanging amaranthus.

For this sea inspired design, I chose fan coral, succulents, capiz, budleia, grasses, and spanish moss.  This metal container is meant to look like copper with verdigris patina.
